Q

MAKePSR Syndrome

A

Mastitis, arthritis, keratoconjunctivitism, pneumonia, septicemia, reproductive disorder caused by chlamydia and mycoplasma tropism for mucous membranes

17
Q

Rickettsiales Predilection Sites

A

RBC, WBC, or blood vessels

18
Q

Iceberg Concept

A

Presence of clinical cases indicates huge members have subclinical infection, multiple species may be involved

19
Q

Chlamydia

A

Gram neg cocci, little peptidoglycan, giemsa stain best, obligate intracellular

20
Q

Why is Chlamydia obligate intracellular?

A

Cytoplasmic membrane highly permeable, cannot produce amino acids and ATP

21
Q

Chlamydia Elementary Body

A

Extracellular form, environmentally resistant, airborne, infects vertebrates

22
Q

Chlamydia Aberrant Body

A

Characterizes persistent infection, formed during stressful conditions from antimicrobials or host immune

23
Q

Chlamydia Hosts

A

Some interspecies transmission, wide variety of hosts

24
Q

Chlamydia Pathogenesis

A

Attacks columnar epithelium of epithelial cells and mucous membranes

25
Q

Chlamydiosis

A

MaKePSRRD syndrom

26
Q

Chlamydia abortus

A

Ovine abortion storms and placentitis, follicular vaginitis in cow

27
Q

Chlamydia Virulence Factors

A

Neuraminidase, catalase, protease, LPS, T3SS, intracellular survival

28
Q

Gold Standard Test for Chlamydia

A

Indirect immunofluorescent IgG antibody assay

29
Q

Chlamydia Culture

A

Requires living cell lines, chicken embryo, buffalo green monkey kidney cells

30
Q

Chlamydia Treatment

A

Antibiotics early in infection, induces aberrant bodies in persistent chlamydial infection

31
Q

Chlamydia abortus Vaccine

A

Prevents abortion in small ruminant

32
Q

Chlamydia felis Vaccine

A

Prevents keratoconjunctivitis in pets

33
Q
